Social media users’ reactions on WC squad

Fast bowler Hassan Ali has replaced Nasim Shah in Pakistan cricket team after the later sustained a shoulder injury during Asia Cup 2023. Today, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced the squad for the World Cup 2023.

Some fans are appreciating the selection of the squad but others are criticising it.

Here are some reactions:

Inzamam also confirms Naseem isn't just out for the World Cup, but "probably" for longer.

As things stand, it's understood he'll miss the Australia series, and probably even the PSL.

With a heavy heart, I'm sharing that I will not be part of this amazing team that will be representing our beloved country. While I'm disappointed, I believe everything is in Allah's hands. InshahAllah will be on the field very soon.

Thank you to all my fans for the prayers!

Vikrant Gupta who is an Indian news anchor also tweeted:

Contrary to rumours in Pakistani media, Babar and Co have aligned their World Cup 15 with players they had been backing for a long time. Hasan Ali may not be a Naseem Shah but his experience will be critical for them. #PakistanCricket

I don't understand on what basis they chose hassan ali who didn't play ODI since last 1 year. on other hand, a brilliant bowler zaman khan is for reserve. #tip #Amir #WorldCupSquad
